ACTIONS
The inhibition of cell wall synthesis has been shown by
_in vitro _
studies to be responsible for the
bactericidal action of vancomycin against many gram- positive
bacteria. There is also evidence
that RNA synthesis is selectively inhibited and the permeability of
the cell membrane is altered
by vancomycin.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Vancomycin Hydrochloride for Injection, USP is indicated in the
therapy of severe or life-
threatening staphylococcal infections in patients who cannot receive
or have failed to respond to
the penicillins or cephalosporins or who have infections with
staphylococci resistant to other
antibiotics, including methicillin.
In the treatment of staphylococcal endocarditis vancomycin has been
used successfully alone.
In other infections due to staphylococci, including osteomyelitis,
pneumonia, septicemia and
soft-tissue infections, vancomycin's effectiveness has been
documented. Antibiotics are used as
adjuncts to appropriate surgical measures when staphylococcal
infections are localized and
purulent.
Although no controlled clinical efficacy trials have been conducted,
intravenous vancomycin has
been suggested by the American Heart Association and the American
Dental Association as
prophylaxis against bacterial endocarditis in patients allergic to
penicillin who have congenital
and/or rheumatic or other acquired valvular heart disease when they
undergo dental procedures
or surgical procedures of the upper respiratory tract (Note: When
selecting antibiotics for the
prevention of bacterial endocarditis, the physician or dentist should
